Jazz and Chocolate Backyard Benefit Concerts, 2026!

Jazz, hors d'oeuvres, wine and chocolate! Raising money for local nonprofits doing lifesaving work for vulnerable people at home and abroad Please join us for two lovely, relaxing, early Sunday evenings in our backyard as we raise money for two small, local nonprofits doing lifesaving work for vulnerable people in our neighborhood and abroad. Both house concerts take place outdoors in the backyard of our home in Midtown, Palo Alto. Your ticket includes: • Freshly prepared hors d'oeuvres • A glass of wine or sparkling cider • A box of two gourmet, hand crafted, fair trade, dark chocolates by Creative Confections • Speakers from our featured nonprofits • Stellar instrumental and vocal jazz! Tickets are on a sliding scale: $35-$100. All net proceeds go directly to our featured nonprofits. DOORS OPEN 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO EACH SHOW. The concert is short! Please allow ample time to park and to check in at the front door. It may get chilly- please bring a jacket or blanket if needed!
